A Conversation That Matters

It’s a conversation that might just change the way you think about your working life. Things like:

1.What gets you out of bed in the morning?

2.Why do you do what you do?

3.What really matters to you in your work life?

These are questions that I’ve pondered over the years.

It took me a while to work out my answers, and I’m going to be sharing these online in a discussion with my good friend and Business Mentor Paul Dunn.

You might just be surprised where the conversation goes….

We’ll be talking about client relationships, business ethics, how to build businesses that really matter and so much more.

It would be great if you could join us. ‘A Conversation that Matters’ is LIVE on the web on 24/4/2015 12:15 PM.

About Paul

I’m truly fortunate and grateful to have a reputation as a great ‘value-giving’, ‘inspiring’ and extraordinary speakers and mentors.

Conference Organisers hire me to get 3 things that are often missing at events:

And people hire me as their mentor to fast-track them to dramatically different results.

I’m able to bring to each tailor-made presentation or session a vast depth of experience springing from my founding of The Results Corporation, Results Accountants’ Systems, the Accountants’ Boot Camp process and most recently, with Masami Sato, B1G1: Business for Good.

People often refer to me around the world as the Wizard of WOW (but when we connect, I’ll quickly let you know I have a new way of thinking about that).

I think it’s fair to say that every session I do changes lives — certainly that’s what people continue to say. And I suspect my (currently) 4 TEDx talks illustrate precisely why that is.

When we connect, I’ll explain that Purpose (or WHY) is critical. So it’s only fair to let you know mine right now. It’s this: I get up each morning to give businesses the power to change our lives.

My work as Chairman of Buy1GIVE1 (B1G1) – a unique ‘giving engine’ that connects you in a much deeper way to your team, yourself and your marketplace — underscores that.

I’m very privileged too to be surrounded by and connected to truly extraordinary individuals who are equally curious and ever-learning.

There are many imposters in the social media space, claiming that they are the expert and can deliver the results, however many fall short in their own success, let alone achieving that for their clients. Adam, doesn't just talk the talk, he blazes a trail. Achieving phenomenal results in a very short time, he is the LinkedIn expert and social media guru. Not using him, means you are leaving results and money on the table. Can't recommend him highly enough, he is the ultiamte guide if you are wanting to be seen as the go to person in your industry.

There is no one I trust more when it comes to social media; Adam is the guru. He continues to prove that any small business can stand out online with a clear social media strategy. Whatever capacity you work with Adam - whether it is his free LinkedIn course, his book the Social Media Secret Sauce or his 12 month program - he will become an asset to your business. I can't speak highly enough of him and his work in helping not only mine but thousands of other small businesses.

If ever there was a LinkedIn dummy, it was me. Nothing I did worked. No one liked me. No one commented on my well thought out posts. No matter how hard I tried, the curtains would not part to reveal the secret of how to get noticed with my small business on LinkedIn. Then I took Adam Houlahan's LinkedIn Influencer course. He has a 'Like this Do that' teaching style, a style that takes you through the learning in a practical, step-by-step process. Adam pulled back the LinkedIn curtains, revealing the actions that will get you into LinkedIn jail. Now I know what not to do anymore. And my business is finally getting noticed. Thank you Adam.

Victoria Rose

Adam's knowledge, expertise and advice about LinkedIn specifically and social media strategy more broadly, is unparalleled. Whilst his book, The LinkedIn Playbook, might be a slim volume, it is a rich goldmine of relevant, targeted information which has helped to clarify and crystalize my own thinking and approach to the often overwhelming volume of 'stuff' and range of head-spinning options available to keep one confused. I keep referring to my 'LinkedIn Bible' again and again - to clarify, consolidate and fine-tune my path through that particular marketing maze. Adam, his specialist knowledge, his expertise, and his personable approach, come to you with my highest personal and professional recommendation.

Dr Christian (Chris) Willems

I dialled into Adam's webinar "LinkedIn Influencer Online Training LIVE" and cannot recommend it highly enough! The information was presented in a clear and concise manner with excellent real world examples. The key messages have simple actions which can be implemented right away. It was both informative & practical. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

The websites he has worked on a stunning and so it was a simple choice when it came to updating my website.Jon has a system for creating websites and he and his team follow the steps. The end result is a stunning website and happy clients.Every step of the way I felt I was in "good hand". The team at Five by Five are professional and they know what they are doing.The original price seemed quite a lot of money to me at the time. These guys are not cheap.Now that my site is complete I know exactly where the value is.A calm team of professionals who respond to every question as if I was their only client. Nothing was too much trouble. Every time I asked about some thing it was responded with positive approach. Carla project manages with a truly caring approach, explaining and helping to understand the tricky bits. Sam's design is where the magic is.When I fell behind one of my deadlines they said "Take care of yourself and we'll get it all back on track as soon as everyone is ready" If you want a professional team to build you a stunning and fully functional website, Jon and the team at Five by Five are for you!Thank you for my new website.

Above and beyond.. the team at 5x5 are dedicated to ensuring you get the outcome that your business deserves when it comes to Web Design and customer service. The website they designed for our company is fantastic and functional. It is a work in progress too which they are always happy to adjust and work on where needed. Would highly recommend this business.

Five by Five is an amazing company. I am so impressed with their team as they all exceeded my expectations. Carla is so patient and helpful it was a true joy to work with her. Sam did a great job on the design of my site, his work and input was a real asset to the entire project. Thanks guys!

Very happy with our website that was designed and delivered by Five by Five. Project delivery processes were very impressive! Jon, Carla and the entire team was very helpful throughout the project and accommodated every little request. Highly recommend them for website development for any businesses. :)

I have worked with Jon and the FivebyFive team on many website projects. My experience with FivebyFive has shown their approach to website development balances creative design with a clear and structured process that ultimately results in a product clients feel happy with. Where challenges arise, they have been open to feedback and willing to do what's required to make sure the client's specific needs and objectives are met. I'm happy to recommend FivebyFive to any business owner wants their website to look great and perform well too.

This is our second site built by FiveByFive together with numerous landing pages. Jon, Carla, Sam and the team and the best in the business. We are always thrilled with the results, they built to budget and deliver on time. It's simply good for our business.

We had a great experience working with 5X5 on our recently completed web design project. Their knowledge and experience in design, web development and project management has resulted in a great end result that truly is a 'great looking, high performing website'! I have already recommended them to others. Thanks again Carla, Sam and Jon for your hard work and attention to detail.

5 stars for 5x5 seems quite fitting, though I would give 6 stars if I could! Jon, Carla and the rest of the 5x5 team have made the usually arduous task of creating a new website not just painless, but enjoyable. The whole team is professional and knowledgeable, they have excellent communication skills and were quick to turn around any request we threw at them. They also nailed the design of the new website on the first go, which was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend these guys for any and all web design needs. I've already recommended them to another client. Thanks 5x5 team for the excellent work!

Jon and the Five by Five team are truly a one-of-a-kind organisation. Offering amazing communication, great attention to detail, and the rare ability to listen to exactly what you as a client are after and turn it into a reality; I cannot recommend them highly enough! Jon and his team always meet deadlines and their support team/desk provide extremely timely solutions to any and all issues that may arise. Most importantly, the websites that they produce are world-class!

Five by Five were a joy to work with. They really know their stuff and made the whole website redesign process seamless. Their care package is fantastic – they’re very responsive. Feedback on our new website has been very positive.

Great engagement from day 1. Five by Five are a highly professional team who ensure that no client moves on from their website design experience disappointed. Very prompt responses to all my requests for action. Delighted with the finished product. Highly complimentary reaction from clients, investors and business contacts about the website too which is great third party validation of Five by Five's work. They have delivered an excellent outcome for the investment made.

I worked with Five by Five over a couple of months to build a new website for Chief Maker. They were just superb on every level. Never missed a meeting, had the smoothest go-lives every time and communicated with a clarity I've never experienced in tech projects. And the site looked incredible and worked seamlessly. I used to outsource to cheap overseas operators and will never do that again after working with Five by Five.

We had such a great experience working with Jon, Carla, Sam and all the team at Five by Five. The process of redeveloping our website was made easy and efficient. They have such good systems in place that nothing was missed and all the details were covered, without me having to chase anything up. I've worked on previous website projects where it's been full of stress, but this was so different. These guys are brilliant - total pros!

The Team at Five By Five are awesome! Their communication is second to none, keeping me informed every step of the process and making updates very promptly. My communication was primarily with Carla who was an absolute delight to work with. Can't recommend Five by Five highly enough!

I've used the five by five team on two of my website projects and cannot fault them. Sam is a brilliant designer, Jon really knows his stuff and Carla is an amazing project manager. A highly professional team and I am so pleased with the finished product.

Loved working with 5x5 and really really love our new website. The team are very easy to deal with, nothing was ever a problem. I do like the systems 5x5 use which makes life so much easier on the client side. The post build support has also been fantastic, ensuring everything is working smoothly. Highly recommend!!

Working with the whole team at Five by Five, especially our project manager Carla, was a breeze. Super helpful, full of great ideas and really on the ball. We had a big project which had lots of moving parts and they were on top of everything the whole way through. They were able to advise the best route to go, in both usability and visually on the site, and recommend some great third-party companies to work with on other parts of the project, too. Highly, highly recommend Five by Five.

This is our one year anniversary of our website and while it's taken us a year (our fault!) to write this review, it says a lot that a year on, we still are so very grateful to 5x5 for helping us bring our website to life. As designers ourselves, we had a clear vision for how we wanted our website to look and behave. After comparing 3 web agencies across the country, it was Jon who won us over by video calling us to introduce himself in person and really listening to our needs. The entire team that we worked with made up of Jon, Carla, Sam are consummate professionals and we loved their super-organised approach and tools to facilitate the process. Thank you for building our design and making it world-class!
